How far have the front lines moved since then (we have completed turn 10)... I wish I was still that much west with my ramshackle armies. A strange thing: a lot of air commanders have been executed, while two land generals have been promoted, even though their armies were the most beaten.

Bryansk Air Command commander Ernst Shakht is arrested and EXECUTED
Western Air Command commander Ivan Kopets is arrested and EXECUTED
Northwest Air Command commander Aleksei Ionov is arrested and EXECUTED
